John's Restaurant / Pizzeria - Danbury, CT





It hit me early this morning, a seemingly insatiable craving for a chicken parmigania wedge/sandwich. After thinking about it all day, I made it happen and I had a particular place in mind.

That place is John's Restaurant / Pizzeria in Danbury, CT - it's located on Padanaram Road. The place is your typical strip mall pizzeria/Italian restaurant, however it is nice, clean and friendly overall. Place was packed around 6:15 PM on a Wednesday night, usually a good sign.

After a solid 10 minute wait, I had my sandwich in hand and began to dig into it. Now, chicken parm is something that I take seriously. Growing up it was my absolute favorite thing to eat. To this day I eat it almost any time I see it on a menu. The problem is, it never lives up to my Mother's. That won't stop me... now on to the review.

The sandwich itself is quite a mess as you can see. A very generous sized sandwich, bread was very crisp and a good compliment to the saucy catastrophe dwelling within it's confines. Taste wise, pretty pretty good! Great sauce, tons of garlic and a nice sweet taste. I despise overly bitter tomato sauce, this sauce was well made luckily. Gobs and gobs of Mozzarella cheese is par for the course on a chicken parm sandwich, normally I would say you can never have enough but I think they are pushing it a little bit.

All in all a very good sandwich, I would return and perhaps try something different. They offer various types of Italian sandwiches, pizza, pasta and your other typical Italian restaurant offerings. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for a lunch or take out dinner. Next time maybe sausage parmigania, who knows?

You are probably thinking, "well, did he finish it?" You bet your sweet little tush I did. I destroyed that thing!

Overall Rating: 3.75 out of 5
